A lexical error occurs when the compiler does not recognize a sequence of characters as a proper lexical token. 2ab is not a valid C token....

A syntax error occurs when a sequence of tokens does not match a C construction: statement, expression, preprocessing directive....

A lexical error can be error which is encountered by lexical analyser at the time of scanning the stream of tokens.

Whereas the syntactical error is related to validity of the tokens (whether the generated tokens are valid keywords or not).
